Alex Jones Warns of "Orgy of Mass Murder"

Richard Andrew Poplawski was convinced in early 2009 that America was secretly controlled by a Jewish cabal that was moving fast to eradicate free speech and use the military to enslave the American people. Naturally, federal agents and law enforcement officers would first have to seize all privately owned firearms, he believed.

According to the Anti-Defamation League Alex Jones' website Infowars.com was among Poplawski's "favorite" venues for conspriracy theories:

One of Poplawski's favorite places for such conspiracy theories was the Web site of the right-wing conspiracy radio talk show host Alex Jones. Poplawski visited the site, Infowars, frequently, shared links to it with others, and sometimes even posted to it. One of his frustrations with the site, though, was that it didn't focus enough on the nefarious roles played by Jews in all these conspiracies. "For being such huge players in the endgame," he observed in a March 29, 2009 posting to Infowars, "too many 'infowarriors' are surprisingly unfamiliar with the Zionists." Another time he was more hopeful, noting that "racial awareness is on the rise among the young white population." *

I have confirmed through two Texas gun dealers and through someone in my office that when you buy two rifles, and by the way it's in this letter, or two handguns, revolver or pistol, that you get an ATF or FBI visit to your house. And they demand to come in your home and see your guns without a warrant. It's a chilling effect, it's intimidation, just like in Nazi Germany.

The system does not want armed citizens, they want to set a precedent. And as our country goes into designed banker depression, as we implode, they are coming after our guns.

[...]

The system is having the police and military start a fight where they know gun-owning constitutionalists are not going to along with it. They are going to start responding as things degenerate. And they are going to be called terrorists. The system, the social engineers, are sending the ATF and the Feds on a collision course with law abiding patriotic Americans so they can kick off a civil war in America.

During an August 2 segment of the Alex Jones Show, he suggested the so-called "Super Congress" proposal of the recent debt-ceiling deal, which Jones labeled the Council of 13, was a vehicle to advance gun control (among other nefarious plots). Jones also labeled the debt-ceiling deal "treason," claiming it signals the transition of the Congress to a "dictatorship." Jones has hosted Gun Owners Of America executive director and former militia movement leader Larry Pratt twice in the last thirty days most recently going over the perceived threat of the super congress proposal.

In a later segment on August 2 Jones responds to a caller suggesting he was scared to death about what the future holds for his children telling him: "We're just approaching the event horizon of the orgy of mass murder and death." Growing increasingly agitated, Jones started screaming about how the government has "robot helicopters with airborne Ebola and nerve gas waiting in spray quadrants to kill everybody. That's who runs America. OK? Total psychopathic, 110-percent mack daddy murderers!"

Jones also posted a piece on his website titled "Super Congress To Target Second Amendment" in which he states that "it represents another final nail in the coffin of the American Republic and its replacement with an executive dictatorship run by the political elite."

He also reprinted a Gun Owners of America bulletin that states that the super congress would be "a super highway for gun control legislation."
